Air France pilots claim A330 crash cover-up

Air France pilots say there's an ongoing cover-up in the probe of the crash of Flight 447, asserting officials are rushing to blame the crew for the disaster. The June 1 crash of the Airbus 330 during stormy weather off the coast of Brazil killed 228 passengers and crew. Investigators recovered about 50 bodies and some wreckage, but the plane's flight data recorders have not been found. Gerard Arnoux, a spokesman for the Union of Air France Pilots, told Wednesday's Times of London that France's Bureau of Investigation and Analysis, or BEA, and airline officials are "trying to blame the pilots. They do not want the truth."
